There is nothing in the world to make you feel hope for humanity than the company of gracious professionals,
This year, at IRI, when our robot experience catastrophic damage, SO many teams helped us out to get our robot working. I'll take a quote from the thread we posted post-IRI about the damages from one of our college mentors, Carl. THESE teams exemplify GP.

THAT was gracious professionalism. Also thanks to 11, 71, 195, 1310, and 1625 as well as Chris Picone and Nick Lawrence for lending us tools and brainpower for the attempted repairs throughout the weekend. And thanks to 16 and 27 for being understanding pit neighbors when our stuff undoubtedly spilled into your space during the turmoil that was the Friday of IRI 2013 for Team 20. Additional thanks to all of the great teams and volunteers who provided the most inspirational product on that field. We were hoping to really help raise the level of competition, but we came away with a great experience nonetheless.

ALSO- before the competition even started, we were lent(read "given") a Banebots motor from team 3847.
We offered the the compensation for the money the motor cost- they refused it.
